Threats to Kha'Zix with this build

Hi, i am Kha'Zix. I won't mark any champion by difficult rate, because all depends on how you playing me. There is only one rule: kill or be killed. I gona teach you how to kill everyone.

5

Fiddlesticks

Take intiation in your claws after 6lvl. He is way to squishy for you, so try to get fed on him. Don't waste your Leap untill he uses Fear on you. Use VOid Assault to deny his Drain by running away. Always ward his blue and try to catch him there.

5

Lee Sin

Lee is about as strong as I in early game, but scales much worse. You can win duel easy if you dodge his Q by your E (he is blind so he can't see where you are and send into space his Q). If you play smart and don't let him snowball on you and his team, would be easy win.

5

Pantheon

This is... SPARTAAAA!!! Pantheon probably one of the best duelist against physical damage targets before 6, why? Since he has a passive which blocks auto attacks thus negating up to 3 hits in a 1v1, which could be 3x40 or more damage. He also has his Q up every 2-3 seconds so he can start chunking you hard with it as it's AD ratio and base damage is strong. At 6 though he doesn't provide himself an ultimate since that's just used for global ganking and not really for 1v1s. You will win duel after 6, if you have Evolved Taste Their Fear. Tip: if he jumps on your carry he is going to isilated usually, shut him down before he will do that with your carry.

5

Rek'Sai

You win 1v1 against her at any stage of game, only if she don't have huge lead.

5

Rengar

You can easy win this matchup. Kite and deny his damage with Void Assasult and leap, and use Q, W as nevessary.

5

Vi

Take initiation in your claws and Dodge her Q and you will be fine. Shut down her in early after 6lvl.

5

Shaco

Always keep an eye out for a puff of smoke in the fog of war. Past 6lvl be carefull with his invade.Ward your jungle and always watch when he started and think where he can go. Attak him always first when he isolated. Usefull tip: before atacking him, use your chilling smite, he will be slowed and after his ult you will see slowed one, thats true Shaco not clone.

5

Elise

Take initiation on her while she is isolated in Human, because her spiderlings deny your isolated damage form and dodge her stun. Play against her very careffull and don't get cought.

5

Nidalee

Try do don't get hitted by her spear and take initiation in your claws after 6lvl.

5

Kindred

The most important part against them, it's take initiation in your claws. Jump on them first and you will be fine.

5

Gragas

Take initiation in your claws. Dodge his E with Void Assault or chase him with that, keep your Leap untill he uses his ultimate.

5

Jarvan IV

You can easy win this matchup, dodge his E+Q combo and you will be fine. Aswell you can escpae from his ult with Leap.

5

Udyr

Deny as much Pheonix Stance damage as more as it possible with Void Assault. Take initiation in your claws, but dont waste your Leap on that. Shut down him early after 6lvl.

5

Shyvana

Take initioation, in early she is weak, so shut down her in early on 6lvl. And ward Dragon to see when she trying to take that. If she taking Herald, tkae Dragon.Use Void Assault to deny her damage, since she AA champion based.

5

Master Yi

The same with Shyvanna.

5

Xin Zhao

The same with Shyvanna.

5

Kayle

The same with Shyvanna, but use your Void Assault to deny her ult and keep Leap untill she uses her Flash.

5

Diana

Both of you have same power on 6lvl. Take initiation, dodge her Q and kite her with Void Assault.

Here 2 thing which affect on Kha'Zix and 1 which making more stronger pick at this patch:

1) Duskblade of Draktharr is OP on Zed, Talon and possibly Rengar but not on Kha'Zix. In my opinion this item isn't the best pick, but still situational and not even core item as people thinking right now. That's because of Kha'Zix champion skillset and gameplay. You are not always have enough time to proc your AA on enemy or you just oneshoting people with Q. And this item is kinda risky and uselles sometimes. If you are trying to kill enemy carry, you will try to finish him, but leaving him on 200 HP near support is ridiculous thing, becasue support can use Mikael's Crucible and clear mark or Soraka will just out heal dmg from Duskblade of Draktharr mark.
So, when to build this item and when don't? I recommend to build this item when enemy team don't have high health regenration, Mikael's Crucible, Quicksilver Sash and Cleanse.

2) Dragon buff changes made Kha'Zix more stronger pick in this patch, because of his hard Dragon controll possability so he can easy take it solo on 6 lvl and keep taking that and increase team pushing power.

dragon baff changes

Patch 6.2 New Mechanics

In my opinion ability changes seem straight up useless for Kha'Zix, but if you are interested in that here some information about that.

About Champion

You should know: Kha'Zix is Aggressive Ganger Style Jungle Champion, if you like to passive farm more... so Kha'Zix not your champion... Still wanna play him? If yes, lets go. Kha'Zix is classic AD Assassin, he excels in having a high burst and taking 1 by 1 enemies and don´t getting caught for that by his Evolved Leap. Nerfs doesn´t made him weak, he still strong and can carry games. Basically, he is trump in the sleeve of his team, and surprise for the enemy team, who is waiting in the wings. Since he is Assassin, he is used to stay behind his teammates and wait moment to go in for low HP enemies. Also Kha'Zix useles without his items, spells and mana, so you need to buy AD with Cooldown Reduction first and controll mana, just to be useful.

When Kha'Zix crossed over into this world, he was fragile and ravenous. The animals he first encountered were too small to fuel the rapid evolution he craved. Kha'Zix focused his hunger on the most dangerous creatures he could find, risking his life to satisfy his need. With each kill he feasted and changed, becoming a stronger, faster predator. Kha'Zix soon chased his prey with unrestrained aggression, believing he was unstoppable. One day, while savoring a fresh kill, the predator became the prey. From cover a creature pounced in a blur of fangs and steel, tackling him to the ground. It roared in his face slashing and clawing, and Kha'Zix felt his blood spill for the first time. Screeching in fury, he sliced at the brute's eye driving it back. They fought from sunset to sunrise. Finally, near death, they reluctantly separated. As his wounds closed, Kha'Zix burned with anticipation at the idea of devouring one who could match the Void's strength. He resumed his search for powerful prey with renewed vigor. Someday, Kha'Zix will feast on Rengar.

Kha'Zix Patch History

Patch 6.2:

W - Void Spike *
Can now be 'buffered' mid-jump so that Kha'Zix can cast it slightly before landing.

R - Void Assault *
Can now be 'buffered' mid-jump so that Kha'Zix can cast it slightly before landing

* If Kha'Zix attempts to cast both Void Spikes and Void Assault while mid-air, he'll buffer only the last one he attempted to cast (not both, that would be too much)

- Squishy.- Very Mana hungry early game- Hes also squishy untill he get some defensive stats- QSS

Kha'Zix is classic AD Assassin, aswell like Zed. When Kha'Zix born, all ADC trembling with fear. If you get to 6 items you will be a terror unless the enemy has 6 armor items. Despite this first jungle clear does not mean he is bad in S6. He still can snowball and carry games. In addition he has one of the best escape mechanisms in the game on his Evolved Leap.

To offset this his early game really is awful (before 6 lvl) compared to other Junglers like Pantheon or Lee Sin. Without items you will find yourself useless, because your based damage nerfed and you can't oneshot enemy ADC. In addition his Leap can be cancelled by a lot of abilities including Devastating Charge, Flay and Vault Breaker. Basically any displacement ability.

Do not underestimate this skill's damage, often you'll want to auto attack between Qs after unstealthing from R as it does significant damage and slows them. It is important to abuse this passive as it can make or break a gank/kill because of it's guaranteed slow/damage unlike W which could be dodged by a flash (or you miss it). Going out of vision for this passive to come back can happen during chases so remember to pay attention to the status bar (it'll tell you when you have it back).Bonus Magic Damage: 15 / 20 / 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 / 75 / 85 / 95 / 110 / 125 / 140 / 150 / 160 / 170 / 180 / 190

This is the majority of Kha'zix's damage, it is most efficient to cast this between autoattacks and it's nearly instant and you don't want to break your auto attack animation by casting it during your auto attack. When you evolve it, it'll have longer range so you can use it before they get away. Isolating targets is very important for this spell as the damage goes up by quite a bit. Sometimes its better to hold your Q for a split second if you see the enemy running away from allied units during a chase to get the isolation damage off.Cost: 20 ManaCooldwon: 3Physical Damage: 70/95/120/145/170 (+ 120% bonus AD)Phusical Damage to Isolated Target: 91 / 123.5 / 156 / 188.5 / 221 (+ 156% bonus AD)

This spell is an awesome sustaining tool in the jungle early on, especially at the wraith camp. The slow is really good for ganks if you are able to land it. Try not to miss like I do all the time. Unless you evolve it in which case there is essentially no way to miss. All its sustain and slowing potential aside, this RANGED spell is the only one Kha has. On top of that, it does really good damage when you hit it.Cost: 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 ManaCooldwon: 9Physical Damage: 75 / 115 / 155 / 195 / 235 (+ 100% bonus AD)Physical Damage VS Mosters: 90 / 138 / 186 / 234 / 282 (+ 120% bonus AD)Heal: 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 (+ 50% AP)

Leap pre evolution is merely a small gap closer (which is still useful to get over walls) that doesn't really do much damage aside from allow you to stick to a target if they start fleeing. Evolved leap greatly increases the distance and allows for resets upon killing a target. Proper usage of this spell after it's evolution is key as you can chain several kills in a row by instantly leaping away after each assist/kill. It also can save your life after you dive in too far and get a kill as you can leap very far away to get away.Cost: 50 ManaCooldwon: 22 / 20 / 18 / 16 / 14Physical Damage: 65 / 100 / 135 / 170 / 205 (+ 20% bonus AD)

This spell, gives insane mobility allowing you completely get away as the enemy is forced to guess which way you'll head as it's rather difficult to guess where a 40%+ movespeed invisible target is going and often they won't be able to keep up even if they guessed correctly. This spell also gives you your passive chargeback which will allow you to deal more damage.Cost:100 ManaCooldwon: 100 / 90 / 80

Evolutions:

This is the most obscure topic of Kha'Zix players. Kha'Zix is very flexible in the game situation. First evolutions are depends on your playstyle, situation and what your team needs.

Q Evolve

This my Evolve preferences. Why? Because it's allow you to do extremely high damage to isolated targets on 6 lvl ( for inf, junglers always isolated targets in the jungle, so you have potential to counter jungle. Nobody can win duel against you on 6 lvl if you Evolved Q first and have Stalker's Blade - Warrior). After you have to evolve E, that allow you to easy escape from enemy team after scoring kill/assist and very useful in the Mid game when team fights starts. And after evolve W for disengage, poke and kite potential against enemy carries OR R for survivability in team fights (depends on situation). This type of playstyle is Aggression. That allow you to duel high damage to everyone in early game and put the pressure on map by your damage. You can gank every lane, but in preference solo lanes (top/mid) and counter jungle, because you got increased damage to isolated targets. Also you can solo Dragon on 6 lvl (if you want to do that, buy Vision Ward just to make sure Dragon isn't warded).

W Evolve

I Evolve W first only in the situation (but I never evolving that :S) when you (and your team) needs in some disengage(usually we have for that support, so I almost don't use that way to evolve), poke and waveclear in the Mid game. After Evolve E, that allow you to easy escape from enemy team after scoring kill/assist and very useful in the Mid game when team fights starts. And as a third i evolve Q to deal extremely high damage to isolated targets. This type of playstyle is Passive. You should poke with your W, wait for low HP enemies to jump and finish them and after run away with your R. Also if you use your Stalker's Blade first, it's will be very easy to land your W on the enemy.

E Evolve

Evolve E first increase your potential in early teamfights, dive and chase opponents. Enemy team would be very surprised to see, how Kha'Zix dive low HP enemies and jump away (thanks to resets). Why max Q instead of W? Because, when you chase/tower dive your enemies, you need to deal max damage to targets in 1 sec while you jumping by your E+Q combo (Jump on the enemy by E and in the middle jump activate your Q). After i evolve Q to extremely high damage to isolated targets. And after evolve W for disengage, poke and kite potential against enemy carries OR R for survivability in team fights (depends on situation). This type of playstyle is Teamplay. You can gank, tower dive and take part in early teamfights and dont be scared of death cuz you can jump away in any time. Only 1 minus here, not so high damage and you should rely on your teammates (I don't prefer to Evolve E first if i am playing on Low ELO because your team sometimes don't understand what to do, so this way is more for High ELO. It's my personal opinion about that playstyle, if you feels it would be OK, go this way.).

Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage. Probably the best and irreplaceable Quinessence for Kha'Zix. This quintessences are giving you a lot of early AD, whats very important pre 6 lvl when you didn't bought your first AD item.

Stalker's Blade is perfect on Kha'Zix for ganking and teamfights, because you have bonus CC ( 20% Move Speed steal for 2 seconds) and some true damage on Smite. I taking this item in every game as core item, also, I advise you to do so too. Enchant in Stalker's Blade - Warrior only.

It's core item in my oppinion on Kha'Zix, because of high emount of AD, CDR, Flat Armor Penetration which really usefull in early and Active which is giving crazy mobility in combo with ult and also increasing your chase/escape potential. Build this item after Tiamat.

space

It is perfect item on Kha'Zix and I buying this item after Youmuu's Ghostblade, because its giving you %Armor reduction which is more usefull in mid/late game. You can get 3 procs of armor reduction with your E, which is also AoE. Building it early game seems a bit bad because it is not so usefull as Youmuu's Ghostblade in early.

Probably the best added item in Season 6, but it still situational in my oppinion. I like to build this item when I need to fight with sustained champions ( Dr. Mundo, Olaf, Warwick and etc.). Build this item after Youmuu's Ghostblade.

Mix of health and armor as well as an attack speed reduction aura. Randuin's Omen's active can be used to chase or initiate team fights. I often build this when enemy ADC Fed.

space

Take this item only if you have huge lead, in other way you are going to feel yourself waek. Take this item as 3 or 4 slot.

space

I like to build this when I'm facing an AP heavy team or poke team composition or my Guardian Angel on CD as 6 slot.

space

An amazing item, you get a free revive! You also get some armor and magic resist. If you're the most wanted target for enemy team, it's good item."The Cycle of Life and Death Continues. We will live, they will die." - Nasus.

Jungling

Basic tips of Jungling.

I am Jungle main player, and i can tell you, jungle is the most hard role in the game ( maybe you gona say: "you are just scrub and don't know hot to play other roles..." No, i know how to play on all roles), because you need to not only understand and know the game, you need understand your teammates. This is a good guide on the psychological aspects of the jungle by Tabopu. I found it interesting and cognitive. Hope that will help you.

I prefer to start from the camp which i'll get the help from the Bot Lane, for more better pull. If you have in team Alistar, Leona or Thresh you can ask them to tank 1-2 shots form Krug/Gromp.

For the fast jungle clear use AA → Q → AA → W → AA.

Whats better, kill Small or Big monster first? You will learn that from this video.

About Season 6 High Elo route: In this route you are going to recall and take Hunter's Machete, High Elo players using this route, because this way will give you more sustain in jungle and you can stay longer in jungle and be ready for ganks longer before your next recall.

Why smite Gromp/Krugs ?
Because every jungle camp giving now personal buff (every is unique), and Gromp's/Krug's buff are more useful in early game then hp/mana back from blue/red buff.

You should KS IN EARLY. Yes KS, i mean Kill Steal. Just because you are Kha'Zix and YOU NEED IN KILLS in early. You don't care, will your team like that or not, Just Do It. No kills = No gold = Bad Kha'Zix. Only after you will be fed, you can let your team some kills.

Timing:

I still don't understand why pople playing so lazy and don't timing cooldwns of summoner spelles. If you doing that you can gank this lane as jungler as more as you want and taking free kills. Here some information about cooldowns of summoner spells:

Warding:

Yes, you should ward and control all the map. WIth good postion of wards you can prevent 2/3 enemy ganks. After your first or second recall you should buy Vision Ward , and place him on top river middle bush. Don't be greedy on wards, if you playing good and still in Bronze/Silver and don't buying wards... Dude, just waste a bit gold for your Little friend Stealth Ward, and you will win the game.

Here Picture with most usefull ward positions

Red: Enemy ward locations (which include where your laners may ward).

White: Places that you should ward to defend your jungle and possibly spot an enemy.

Blue: These are very offensive wards where you are more than likely to spot the enemy jungler. These should actually be used often because they give your team vital information as to where the threat of the enemy team is.

Purple: "Pink wards" should be placed in these locations to control important map objectives and to even get rid of pesky enemy wards.

Season 6 Warding Video

I am very love the GregBarsini's text in his Kha'Zix guide about "How to Deal with Teammates?"

Dealing with Teammates and SoloQ Tips:

"Noob jungler, no gank. I lost lane because jungler never came. I'm just gona AFK and report all of you. Peace nerds."
How many times have I read that and be like: "Not again" T.T
Laners listen up, I have to tell you something, laner/jungler to you. YOU-DO-NOTHING.
Junglers do almost as much work as laners combined.
What Jungler does:
- Secure and time buffs, Drake and Baron.
- No passive gold/EXP gain. Yeah, jungler needs to farm too.
- Counterjungling, tracking enemy jungler movement.
- Warding places, that laners don't ward, denying enemy vision.
- Ganking, counterganking.
What Laner does:
- Farm.
- Try to kill the enemy laner.
- Roam.
- Ward.
So please respect junglers. They need you, you need them.
And something else, if a jungler says no to a gank, because he won't give double buffs
and kills to that fed Riven who just killed you for the fifth time, you should not blame them.
But to roast the junglers too: If you don't do anything whatsoever just farm,
then you are not a jungler. You are just a laner in the jungle with less gold/EXP than anyone else.
